Dear Lori, and family, I was so saddened to hear about your Mom's passing . It is never easy, no matter the age. I will never forget her kindness to me and my family years ago when we first moved to Waterloo. As well, will always remember working with her at GRH in the Oncology Unit, and she being our most loved "Sgt Major" Head Nurse. She was truly special and one of a kind.

We are very sorry to hear of Marg's passing.
We met both Marg and Jack at Bass Lake and always enjoyed their company and also getting to know many of their children and grandchildren.
Marg will be missed by many people.
We are sorry to be out of Canada at this time and unable to say our goodbyes in person but want you to know our thoughts are with you.

Marg Hockney was one special lady & nurse in my life. I (Esther) worked with her in Emergency & then she was my boss in the chemo suite. She was one of the best bosses I ever had & it has been so good to keep in touch with her since her retirement. I called her on her birthday in July & got caught up with the family news. Our sincere sympathy to all the family as you mourn the loss of a wonderful person in your lives. Sincerely, Esther & Keith Devolin

Lynn, Bill, Bev, Bob, Lori and families

We were so saddened to learn of Marg's passing. Our Bass Lake friendship began in l993 and we shared many, many good times at the lake....movie nights, Sunday fellowship at Scott's picnic table, surprise parties celebrating birthdays and anniversaries - family fun.
Marg shared her passion for knitting and I will forever 'count the rows and stitches!!' I will miss our phone chats.
Our sincere sympathies to all.

I was very sorry to hear of Margaret's death. I have only know her
since February when I moved in to Lanark Place. She was my table buddy and I got to know her and like her very much. She will be missed. My sympathy to her family.

Was so saddened to read this morning of Marg's passing. Marg was such a sweetheart always "upbeat" despite her many life challenges.
Jack was such a gentle man too. I always looked so forward to their office visits and chatting with them.
And I must admit I looked so forward every Christmas to receiving from them the most delicous, mouth watering shortbread cookies ever!!
Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family and may you find comfort in knowing that your dear mom and dad are finally together again.
